a modern bridal event

On what is surely one of the most special days of your life, only the best will do. For over two decades, the designers of Old Town Florist have committed themselves to making your special day just that….the best it can possibly be.

Our formula is really quite simple. Consider making an appointment with us at least 3 months prior to your wedding. Show us your photos, your swatches, tell us your dreams. Your visions of the perfect wedding are our ultimate goals, and virtually anything within your imagination is worth exploring.

From classical elegant to wild and whimsical, your bridal party, ceremony and reception florals require the deft attention to detail that only a creative and highly skilled florist can realize.

Urban Modern. Think monochromatic, clean and elegant. In the heart of the Pearl, where high style weddings are the order of the day, a bridal bouquet of all lime green cymbidium orchids is the perfect fit.

Another urban modern option is a monochromatic palette using gorgeous lady slipper orchids, green hyperium berries and lime green spider mums, finished with a touch of copper ribbon. This is a stunning choice for any bride or bridesmaid in a high style urban wedding.

The new issue of Oregon Bride Magazine features a really great article on the non-traditional color choices of modern brides. The five-page spread features floral designs by Quince Flowers & Events and letterpress designs by Studio Olivine, two of our Perfectly Pearl participants. The highlighted color palette of turquoise, red and green is a really bold color choice, but in capable hands the result is stunning.

Early fall weddings are prime time for robust red color palettes. Quince Flowers & Events designed this red and green themed wedding with a liberal serving of seasonal flowers. They used lots of dahlias, chocolate sunflowers, passion vine, and other seasonal goodies.

Quince’s tabletop design pairs a visually striking combination of natural linens and dark urns. The use of red-papered favor boxes and flowers creates a polished and pulled-together look.

Tips from Quince

With red and green, it’s important to prevent the palette from becoming christmassy, especially for a fall wedding. It’s a striking color combination when designed effectively!

It’s always a good idea to think of the whole table when designing the centerpiece and not just the flowers alone.

This beautiful white and green centerpiece—housed in a birch wrapped vase— is both rustic and elegant. This arrangement and its matching corsages were designed by Old Town Florist Weddings and are featured in the Winter edition of Portland Bride and Groom. The arrangements were designed by Old Town Florist’s wedding coordinator, Anna Koptiuch, and photographed by Steven Scardina.
